Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi that violations of Turkish airspace are unacceptable during a phone call, according to Turkish media reports. Fidan warned that Ankara would take all necessary measures to protect the country's sovereignty.

Turkey, a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, said that alliance air defenses shot down a second ballistic missile that was fired from Iran and entered Turkish airspace. The incident has raised tensions between the neighboring countries.

According to Turkish sources, Araghchi denied that the missiles originated from Iran and said that his country is investigating the matter. The exchange underscores growing strain following the reported airspace breaches.
